We produce original research, publish innovative thinkers and host thought-provoking events. We have spent 20 years at the centre of the policy debate, with an overarching mission to bring politics closer to people. Demos is now exploring some of the most persistent frictions within modern politics, especially in those areas where there is a significant gap between the intuitions of the ordinary voter and political leaders. Can a liberal politics also be a popular politics? How can policy address widespread anxieties over social issues such as welfare, diversity and family life? How can a dynamic and open economy also produce good jobs, empower consumers and connect companies to the communities in which they operate?

  • Editorial: Left-Horizons Is Launched More Appetite for Marxist Ideas
    Editorial: Left-Horizons is launched More appetite for Marxist ideas than ever before October 16 2017 The Left Horizons website is launched today with the aim of developing and promoting the Marxist strand of opinion within the Labour and trade union movement. Last week, Chris Leslie, Labour MP for Nottingham East, declared in relation to Momentum, that “there is no place for Marxism” inside the Labour Party. Leaving the aside the rather dubious link between Momentum and Marxism, even a cursory study of Labour history will show that there has always been a Marxist strand of opinion within the Party. We welcome the fact that for the first time in generations front bench Labour MPs are happy to describe themselves as “Marxists” or at the very least to pay tribute to Marx’s ideas. In contradiction to Chris Leslie, in our opinion, there should be “no place” in the Labour Party for candidates imposed undemocratically on a Constituency Labour Party, as happened to Nottingham East when Leslie was made the candidate. Neither should there be a place for any Labour MPs to be equivocal on the question of austerity and the living standards of working-class people. When Ed Miliband and Ed Balls lost the 2015 general election for Labour, Chris Leslie was one of those right- wing Labour MPs who implied that the Labour manifesto had at that time been too radical. “We should have done more about welfare reform and public-sector reform”, he said, “not just giving the impression it was all about spending more or less money.” When the Tories were hell-bent on pauperising the disabled by cutting their welfare benefits in July 2015, Chris Leslie was one of those 184 Labour MPs who did not vote against the second reading of the Tories’ Welfare Reform and Work Bill.

  • Labour Party: Jaguar Land Rover Agreement 'Great Example of Cooperation' - Ed Miliband
    Oct 18, 2010 12:19 BST Labour Party: Jaguar Land Rover agreement 'great example of cooperation' - Ed Miliband Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, today joined John Denham MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, and Jack Dromey MP, Member of Parliament for Birmingham Erdington, to praise the cooperation between Jaguar Land Rover, the company’s workforce and the trade union, in securing long-term investment in Castle Bromwich, Solihull and Halewood. All three welcomed the deal, which is a huge boost for manufacturing in the UK while also safeguarding jobs and driving forward growth in the area. Ed Miliband MP, Leader of the Labour Party, said: “This is a great example of cooperation between Jaguar Land Rover, the company’s workforce and the trade union. As a result of this responsible negotiation, manufacturing in Castle Bromwich, Solihull and Halewood is secu re. This decision will drive growth in Britain and bring extra jobs to the West Midlands and Merseyside. “This news of £5 billion investment in British manufacturing stands in stark contrast to how the Tory-led Coalition Government are approaching the current economic situation by putting the fragile recovery at risk and undermining economic growth.” John Denham MP, Labour’s Shadow Business Secretary, said: “It is great news that Jaguar Land Rover, a truly global automotive company, has chosen Britain’s manufacturing sector as its long-term base. This news is a testament to the company’s workforce, which for generations has developed a world-class reputation for British manufacturing.” Jack Dromey MP, Member of Parliament for Erdington, the location of the Castle Bromwich site, said: “This is brilliant news in bleak times.

  • Helen Goodman MP
    Tradition and Change: Four People A Response to the Politics of Paradox By Helen Goodman MP June 2011 Contents Foreword The Reeve’s Tale The Miner’s Tale Looking Back The Mother’s Tale The Priest’s Tale Looking Forward Foreword The Politics of Paradox (POP) is a collection of essays written by proponents of Blue Labour with responses based on a series of seminars. Blue Labour’s thesis is that having lost the election, we need a thorough re-examination of our ideas and a return to concepts and practices prevalent at the founding of the party. Maurice Glasman – the lead editor - has been involved in the ground breaking London Citizen’s movement for the living wage. His central argument is that we need to return to the community based practices of the late 19th century Labour movement and that if we do we shall effect change in people’s lives building solidarity and reciprocity which has a real meaning and value to them, far greater than the abstract philosophical principles of equality and justice. This approach strikes a real note of relevance, because many people feel their lives are insecure and that social ties and obligations have been undermined by globalisation. Sometimes the state institutions set up to tackle problems descend into bossiness and bureaucracy, leaving people feeling frustrated and powerless. I want to begin my response with two stories about communities in my constituency. The first impression might be that these are very traditional and would benefit from the Blue Labour approach. But if we look more deeply, it becomes clear that while voluntarism and co-operation have a part to play – the forces and structures in the modern world require far more than this for them to flourish.
